This is the wiki page for the web Digital Media working group. In this group, we will:
- share tips with each other about what kinds of technology work well for specific digital media projects
- ask questions about better tools and practices
- repost interesting information we come across related to working with digital media
*Morgan will also be posting interesting content and tips he comes across to this wiki - including any pertinent tips that get posted to the listserv.*
